A few days later, Edward and Aquila were sitting with Jessica, Angela, Eric and Mike at lunch. Mike was trying to help Jessica with her valedictorian speech. As to why Jessica is the valedictorian and not Angela, Aquila would never know. But she's still sitting with them as per Angela's request. Edward wrapped his arms around Aquila as they listened to Mike.

"Just in time. All right check it out. 'My fellow students'. Right?"

"Good." Eric approved.

"We are the future. Anything is possible, if you believe." Mike continued.

Aquila grimaced as she looked at her fiancé. She still can't believe that this man, vampire, who's arms were around her, is her fiancé. Edward chuckled at her adorable expression. He kissed her forehead to wipe off that grimace in her face.

"Blah, blah, blah and you got yourself a speech." Mike finished before giving Jessica her paper.

"No. This'll be my speech when I want everyone to throw diplomas at my head. So, thank you." Jessica told him, crumpling the paper and throwing it as Mike's face.

"You gotta embrace the cliches, Jess." Mike told her.

"They are the bread and butter of all valedictorians." Eric added.

"And that is why you are not valedictorian." Angela and Draco, who was walking towards their table with the golden trio, Jasper and Alice, said in sync. Angela's tone was more like teasing while Draco was more monotonous. Eric and Mike gulped seeing Aquila's friends approaching the.

"Jess doesn't need cliches. This speech is gonna be epic." Hermione said with an encouraging smile which Jessica returned.

"Epic? It'll change lives!" Jessica exclaimed as Harry, Ron, Draco and Hermione sat down.

"I think 'Mione here can help you with that. She's very good at public speaking. Right 'Mione?" Aquila suggested. The said girl nods which made Jessica smile with gratitude.

"I've decided to throw a party." Alice announced.

"After all, how many times are we gonna graduate high school?" Jasper asked jokingly, making the vampires, wizards and witches laugh at the inside joke.

"A party? At your place?" Angela asked.

"I've never seen your house." Jessica said.

"No one's ever seen their house except Aquila." Eric told Jessica.

"We did." the wizards and witch said in unison which surprised the others.

"Another party, Alice?" Edward asked the pixie haired vampire.

"It'll be fun!" Alice told them enthusiastically.

The Cullens, golden trio, Malfoys, Andromeda, Charlie and Aquila had thrown birthday parties for Teddy and Delphi. They had a hard time raining Alice in, even Narcissa. But they don't mind because all they wanted was the perfect party for their little angels. Alice and Rosalie also developed throwing a party every time Teddy and Delphi accomplished new things. Like when Delphi's first step ever, or Teddy's first word which was 'duck' or Delphi and Teddy's first time calling Aquila and Edward Ma and Da. The family reckoned Alice would throw a party for the babies just for breathing.

"It'll be better than the last time." Harry said, encouraging Alice. The vampire smiled before she went into a daze. The other began to notice so Aquila decided to switch the topic.

"Hey Angela, do you need some help with those?" Aquila asked.

Harry and Ron tried to start a conversation with Mike and Eric while Hermione and Draco help Jessica with her speech. Aquila noticed Edward's concerned look. But after seeing Aquila's eyes on him, he just gave her a smile which did nothing to convince Aquila that everything is alright.

As Edward drove Aquila home, Aquila tried to ask him what he saw. "i know you know what she saw. Tell me."

"It was nothing." Edward answered he tried to brush it off.

"If it was nothing, then you wouldn't have to look so worried." Aquila told him

"Just that everyone notice how strange Alice is." he lied.

"I think that ship has sailed long ago. Don't make me use Legilimency on you." her warning made Edward gave up.

"I'll tell you later at home." he relented which made Aquila smile appreciatively at him.

They just took their relationship into the next level and trust is a very important foundation. Edward thought that it is better to be honest with his fiancé. He had a very powerful girl in love with him and he's sure that she'd either kill Victoria once she finds out Alice's vision or she'd kill him for keeping secrets from her. Edward would rather it be Victoria than him.

"Wait. Andy just texted me that she brought Teddy with her. She brought some snacks for Uncle C on the police station. Teddy threw a tantrum and wanted to stay with Uncle Charlie. It seems that Uncle C can't say no to our Teddy so Andy asked us to pick him up." Aquila said after reading a text message. When they arrived, They saw Charlie with little Teddy on his arm. "I wonder what's wrong." Aquila said out loud.

"Their son went missing in Seattle over a year ago. Charlie is doing everything he can but..." Edward trailed off.

"Do you know something about this?"

"We've been tracking the situation in Seattle for a while. Unexplained disappearance. Killings. If the situation gets any more conspicuous, the Volturi will step in." Edward explained.

Aquila looked at Edward worriedly, "If they go to Seattle, they could come here. They could know how Bella disappeared and ask Charlie some questions."

It had been months since Charlie disowned Bella. Months since he kicked her out of their house. Months since they saw Bella's stuffs and truck beneath the cliff. The investigators thinks she abandoned her stuffs but since they haven't found any body and there clearly isn't any foul play since they saw Bella's supposed suicide note, murder was out of the equation. They also believe she's alive because they saw footprints that matches Bella's foot size on the shore nearby with an extra pair of feet. They think Bella either poorly set up her fake death or someone saved her.

But Charlie could care less. He still haven't forgiven Bella. He told Aquila that Bella confessed a couple of times she attempted to kill her. He made Aquila decide whether they should report it or not. Aquila decided that not reporting her to the authorities would be the last thing she'll do as Bella's cousin. Bella is no longer a part of Aquila's family. Charlie agreed.

"It won't get that far. But we'll go to Seattle if we have to. I won't let them hurt you" Edward said.

Aquila sighted, yet nodded at Edward as Charlie, Teddy and the parents came out to them. "I'll fax this down, first thing." Charlie told them. The couple thanked Charlie and walked away.

"Ma! Ma! Da!" Teddy squealed at Charlie's arms, making grabby hands towards Aquila. She cooed at her godson as Charlie handed Teddy to her.

"You ready for dinner, Wils?" Charlie asked his niece.

"Yup!" Aquila happily said.

"It's still just the five of us, right?" Charlie asked, referring to himself, Aquila, the two babies and Andy. Draco and Narcissa decided to have a little mother and son dinner on a fancy restaurant in Oregon.

"No. I'm just dropping Aquila off." Edward told him. "I guess I just have to tell you the details tomorrow, my star."

Aquila nods and kissed his cheek goodbye. Edward also kissed Teddy's forehead. Teddy cried when he walked away but he promised Teddy he'd play with him tomorrow which seems to tame the little tyke.

The next day, everybody, except Charlie who had some work to do at the station, went to the Cullens' house. Edward and Alice explained the vision. They saw Victoria coming to Forks. The witches and wizards were on high alert as the Cullens volunteered to hunt Victoria. Andy, Hermione and Cissa were in charge of protection spells and keeping an eye on the babies and Charlie. Harry, Ron and Draco volunteered to ride on brooms and patrol as they disillusion themselves. And since Aquila is a metamorphmagus, she decided to transform into an eagle.

And so the hunt began...

"Are you sure this is where you saw her?" Carlisle asked Alice.

"She's almost here." The pixie haired vampire answered before she caught a glimps of red hair. "On your left." and with that, they all ran after her.

Thanks to their quidditch skills, Harry, Ron and Draco were able to dodge the trees as they flew through the forest. Unfortunately, due to Victoria's enhanced vampire reflexes, she was able to dodge the spells. Victoria was a little disoriented. She didn't know where the spells came from but she can count three human heartbeats. This gave the Cullens a chance to catch up on her.

Emmett was the closest to her so he tried to grab Victoria but she was able to throw him over her shoulder making the bulky vampire hit a tree before falling on the ground. Aquila was forbidden by the others to engage. All she had to do was to observe from the skies and see where Victoria would escape into. The others continued to chase after her, but she jumped over the wolves' territory. The Cullens stopped.

"Wait! She's in their territory." Carlisle told everyone.

"She'll get away!" Esme yelled.

"No, she won't!" Jasper said as he noticed the wolves and remembered the disillusioned Harry, Ron and Draco who are very much allowed to cross.

Three giant wolves chased after her, the wizards firing some spells. The wizards' involvement disoriented Victoria again. The wolves almost had her until she jumped back to the Cullens' side. Emmett and Jasper were the ones in front and closest to her. Victoria jumped in the air and so Jasper followed but he missed upon trying to grab her.

Emmett ran faster, trying to catch up to her. But Victoria was smart enough to jump back onto the wolves' side.

"Emmett, no!" Rosalie yelled to her husband as she noticed he wasn't slowing down.

Emmett jumped to the other side with the sole reason of catching her. He almost did but was thrown into the water by one of the wolves, Paul. Harry, Ron and Draco stopped and disillusioned themselves to come to Emmett's aid. Emmett and Paul growled at each other with Harry and Ron raising their wands at the wolves. It was too late when they realized Victoria got away.

"Great. Classic wolf and vampire rivalry. I'll give you that, Fido. But thanks to your pride, the red head got away." Draco sassed. "Wait till mum hears about this." mumbling the last part.

The other wolves bared their teeth at Draco but decided to run back to the pack.

A/N:

Okay I did say that I will be updating every Saturday but I changed my mind. I'll be updating as often as I can because I want to finish this story first then focus on my others. We still have a long way to go but hey! 9 more chapters until Bloodline!

FUN FACT #1:

Emmett accidentally cussed and said 'fuck' in front of Teddy. But thanks to Teddy's still undeveloped speech, he said 'duck' instead. Emmett got the whooping of the century from Esme and Andy.

FUN FACT #2:

Draco and Harry used magic to fuse the ring of Edward's biological mum and Luna Black's ring that's why it's different
